Blue Jays looking to deal Willie Aikens OAKLAND, CALIF. (CP) — In parts of four major league seasons Len Matus. zek, 30, has hit 16 home runs and driven in 63 runs. Willie Aikens, also 30, has stroked 110 homers and driven in 415 runs through six seasons. But on Tuesday, Toronto Blue Jays management de cided to keep Matuszek as their left-handed designated hitter instead of Aikens who was designated for assign ment. The move was made nec essary to make room on the 25-man roster for starting pitcher Jim Clancy who came off the 20-day medical rehab- ilitation list. The Jays now have 10 days in which to trade or sell Aikens’ contract to another team. If they fail to make a deal, he'll be released to make a deal of his own. “If we didn’t think we still had a chance at moving him somewhere else, we wouldn't have designated him,” said Pat Gillick, the Jays vice president of baseball oper. ations. Just where is somewhere else? “Well they (Jays) men tioned they'd been talking with Seattle, San Diego and San Francisco,” said Aikens, who was 4for-20 with five RBIs and one homer this sea. son. “Obviously, I'd rather stay in the American League.” “Bobby (manager Cox) also told me Gillick had connec tions in Japan. I was over there with Kansas City in 1981 and liked the place. They (Japanese) told me whenever I got finished here, I'd have a job there. “Like I said though, I don’t believe I'm finished here.” The Jays simply believe they'll get more out of Mat. uszek. “We don’t feel Len’s better than Willie Upshaw at first base; we don’t particularily feel he's an outfielder,” Gil- lick said. “But we do feel he's a better player than Willie Aikens.” Ironically, Aikens last at bat as a Jay provided them with the type of clout they hoped he would produce — a pinch-hit two-run homer against Texas on Saturday. Last year Aikens hit .205 with 11 homers and 26 RBIs in 234 at bats. For the next 10 days or until a deal is made Aikens will continue to work out with the Jays. “It'll be weird,” Aikens said. “But then everything’s been pretty weird the past week and a half.” Molle may join Tampa Bay VANCOUVER (CP) — De- fensive lineman Bob Molle of Simon Fraser University has reached an impasse in con- tract negotiations with Win nipeg Blue Bombers of the Canadian Football league, says his agent. Molle, a first-round CFL pick this year, may consider joining Tampa Bay Bandits, who will drop out of the United States Football League following the 1985 season and form a league. “I don't think Winnipeg is taking us seriously,” agent George Chayka said Monday “I think they'll find out we mean business. “Bob is in Texas right now new Bay) this weekend.” Molle, a silver medallist in freestyle wrestling at the 1984 Summer Olympic Games, is six-foot-four and weighs 250 pounds. He was picked in the 12th round of the USFL draft by Tampa Bay “T've done some prelim inary talking with Tampa Bay just to find out if the numbers I'm thinking of are in the ballpark and they say they were,” added Chayka, a former SFU player. “They'd also like to check out the condition of his back.” Molle underwent back sur gery just two weeks before the Olympies in Los Angeles and made a remarkable a ling clinie and there's a good chance he'll fly over there (to Tampa back to gain the silver medal in the super heavy- weight division. By WESLEY GOLDSTEIN QUEBEC (CP) — Bob Gainey's philosophy for winning National Hockey League playoff games comes down to one basic factor — togetherness. “We played cohesively, which was the only way we could make up for our last game,” the Canadiens captain said after Montreal set up a deciding game in the best-of-seven Adams Division final series by beating Quebee Nordiques 5-2 Tuesday night. “We knew that if we didn't improve, we wouldn't be playing for long.” With Gainey and the rest of his teammates knowing they were facing their end of their season, they moved quickly to extend their deadline, jumping into the lead before the game was one minute old. From the opening faceoff, the Canadiens took to the attack, just missing on Larry Robinson's shot from the point before Mike McPhee put them on the scoreboard. Ryan Walter dug the puck out from behind the net, fed Ron Flockhart on the boards, and his shot was deflected in by McPhee at the 45-second mark. Quebec tied it at 7:51, when Alain Lemieux took Michel Goulet’s pass and drilled a shot from just inside the Montreal blueline. LUDWIG MISSES With any luck, the Canadiens could have had a 2-0 lead on the play, as Craig Ludwig missed the net on a breakaway attempt. Goulet picked up the rebound, and sent Lemieux on his way. Montreal regained the lead before the teams headed to the dressing rooms, as Gainey set up Guy Carbonneau at 13:26 and doubled it 36 seconds into the second period on Flockhart’s first goal of the playoffs. For Flockhart, making his first post-season appear- ance, the two-point night meant a little extra personally. “You start to get helpless when you're not in the BLOOMINGTON, MINN. (AP) — Darryl Sutter's second goal of the game with 4:19 remaining in overtime gave Chicago Black Hawks a 6-5 National Hockey League playoff victory over Minnesota North Stars on Tuesday night to win the Norris Division final in six games. Chicago advances to the Campbell Conference final . against. Stanley Cup champion Edmenton Oilers. Sutter took a pass from Tom Lysiak and blasted a slap shot low to the stick side of Minnesota goaltender Don Beaupre. It was the third successive overtime game in the series. Chicago won the fourth game 7-6 in double overtime on a goal by Sutter. Minnesota won the fifth game 5-4 on a goal by Dennis Maruk. The teams set a record for most goals in a six-game series with 62. Craig Hartsburg’s 30-foot shot for Minnesota hit the goalpost with 3:38 played in overtime on the first good scoring chance for either team. Keith Actor was foiled by goalie Murray Bannerman on a breakaway with six minutes left in the period. Chicago ralliled from a one-goal deficit for the fifth time with 4:47 left in the third period when Troy Murray took Steve Larmer's pass and beat Minnesota goaltender Don Beaupre with a low wrist shot. Keith Acton had given the Stars a 5-4 lead with 10:19 Canadiens tie | eries 3-3 Chicago captures title lineup,” he said. “So when you get a chance you want to make the most of it.” Flockhart’s goal gave Montreal a two-goal advantage that was short-lived as Normand Rochefort scored less than three minutes later. More “There's no doubt that those early period goals hurt us,” Quebec coach Michel Bergeron said. “They were able to force the play and make us make mental errors.” Stastny were still suffering effects of their injuries, Bergeron id. said. The Canadiens on the other hand got a little break from their injuries, as Steve Penney, was able to start in goal. Penney, removed after the second period Saturday, spent the weekend in hospital suffering from back spasms. He was listed as a doubtful starter, but revealed no signs of discomfort. Penney may have found himself a little shaky, but Quebec certainly didn't as he made several outstanding saves after the Nordiques’ second Montreal finally opened up some breathing room when Chris Nilan flipped Robinson's rebound over Quebec goaltender Mario Gosselin's shoulder. Nilan made an outstanding play just to get to the puck as he was falling with defenceman Pat Price draped all over him. Pierre Mondou rounded out the scoring at 13:21, notching his first goal of the playoffs. The win means Montreal regains the home-ice advantage it had to start the series, something players on both sides say has become a non-factor. to play in regulation when his backhander off a pass from Tom McCarthy eluded Chicago goalie Murray Bannerman during a Minnesota power play. Curt Fraser's goal with 6:15 gone in the third period tied it 44 after 1:44 after Minnesota had taken a 43 edge on Dave Richter’s shot from the point. The North Stars. struck first in-an- exciting, fast-paced first period when they broke in 3-on-1 on Bannerman 90 seconds into the game. Gordie Roberts fed Dino Ciccarelli, who uncorked a low slapshot. Bannerman made a save but Tony McKegney scored on the rebound. Chicago retaliated 55 seconds later when Dennis Savard’s perfect cross-ice feed set up Larmer's power-play tally. The Stars took a 2-1 lead on Hartsburg’s power-play goal with 7:03 left in the period. Hartsburg’s shot from the left faceoff circle deflected off Chicago defenseman Bob Murray and into the net. Minnesota held Chicago shotless on a power play that started with 4:48 to go in the period. But two seconds after the advantage expired, the Hawks scored when Sutter tipped in Keith Brown's pass from the point to knot the game 2-2. Chicago's best defenseman, Doug Wilson, suffered a groin injury at the end of the period on a cross-check by Ciccarelli and did not return to the ice. Lemieux moves to the top By NEIL STEVENS PRAGUE (CP) — Mario Lemieux continues to impress. The rookie National Hockey League centre who led Pittsburgh Penguins in scoring with 100 points this season has moved to the top of the Team Canada scoring chart at the wofld hockey championship with two goals and six assists. Lemieux, 19, is one of the youngest players in the tournament but he's played with the same poise and productivity that made his first NHL season such a success. The Montreal native and his Team Canada teammates get their most significant test of the tournament tonight when they face the Soviet Union in their second game of three in the medal round. Canada defeated the United States 3-2 Monday, while Czechoslovakia upset the Soviets 2-1, which leaves the race for gold wide open. “When I came over here I was told to just go out and play my game, try to score goals and set up my wingers and get a lot of points,” Lemieux said. “I'm happy with the way I've been playing.” He's on the line with Kirk Muller of New Jersey Devils and Dave Taylor of Los Angeles Kings. He had played on a line with Muller in the NHL all-star game last winter FITS “They're two guys who work hard in the corners and are good defensively,” he said. “They give me a lot of opportunities to score goals.” Lemieux has been rooming with Don Maloney of New York Rangers at the Intercontinental Hotel, Prague's best western-style hostelry “Life here is not much different from back home,” Lemieux said. “There's not much going on “It has a lot of nice things in its own way and it's nice to see another country and different people.” But he left no doubt he’s eager to get home. “I have not seen my family much the last six months and T'll go back and spend the summer with them. It's going to be nice.” As for what city will be home next September, Lemieux is uncertain He said he received a telephone call from a Penguins official to say the club was ceasing operations this week. “Maybe we will be moving to San Francisco, I don't know,” he said in reference to the DeBartolo family which owns the Penguins and also San Francisco 49ers of the NFL. Of more immediate concern are the Soviets who crushed Canada 9-1 in the preliminary round. Canada has not beaten the Soviets in world or Olympic tournaments since 1961 when it last won the gold medal. “It would be an upset, but it's always nice being the underdog,” said goaltender Pat Riggin, who has been catapulted from reserve status to No. 1. “Our chances don't look good but when I was 16 years old my chances of playing in the NHL weren't that great either.” Rick Wamsley, replaced by Riggin because of back problems, left for home Monday Team Canada did not practice Tuesday but put on the uniforms for a group photo. The Soviets have one sore spot — faceoffs. “It seems to be a weak point in our play,” coach Viktor Tikhonov says. The Soviets are the only medal-round finalist to lose more faceoffs than it has won. Viachaslov Bykov isn't bad at 64-67 won-lost but Viktor Tiumenev is only 60-75 and Irek Gimaev 37-55. Ron Francis is 84-64, Lemieux 55-62, Bernie Nicholls 61-54 and Steve Yzerman 79-79 for Canada. West Germany beats Finland 5-4 PRAGUE (AP) — Erich Kuehnhackl scored two goals, including the winner, as West Germany edged Fin. land 5-4 Tuesday in rele gation group play at the world hockey championship. Kuehnhackl, who gave up a National Hockey League car eer saying he made enough money in the West Germany league, was the man behind his team’s three last goals. The 34-year-old veteran centre tied the game 3-3 at 7:04 of the second period. He set up linemate Dieter Heg: en, who also scored twice, as the West Germans broke the deadlock early in the third period Then, after the Finns had tied the see-saw shootout once more, he scored the winner at 8:02. Markus Berwanger got the other goal for West Ger- many Mikko Makela, Pekka Ar- belius, Raimo Helminen and Juha Huikari scored for Fin land.
